E.C.G. Inc Job Offer Scam

I received this email today from Nevada Manning at bosslerhaow7b@yahoo.com addressed to cray.lucinda@gmail.com using Yahoo mail to deliver the message. The fact it came from Yahoo, addressed to the incorrect name and asking that you respond to an entirely different account screams scam, one designed to obtain your personal information.

There may very well be a legitimate company called E.C.G. Inc, but it doesn’t mean that this email came from them. In doing research, I could not find any company information regarding this offer which usually, a company looking for employees will have the same information posted on their job board.

This is what’s called a “Two Tier Scam”. Tier one is the identity theft scam disguised as a job offer to drop your defenses and submit personal information! That information is then evaluated to determine if you can be used to commit illegal activity and if so, Tier Two kicks in.

In Tier Two, you are told that you’ll be shipping packages from home using Fedex, UPS and standard mail but what you are not told is that the contents, such as TV’s and electronic equipment were purchased with stolen credit cards and your address will be the one that the police raid when they find out.

If you have received something similar, please leave a comment and help others from being scammed. Careful out there – here is the offer:

I received an email from this Company as well. I received and mailed two packages and was told by a friend that this was a scam so emailed th company and resigned. One of the packages that I received had a different name but my address on it. Seeing that put a red flag up for me. I asked about it and was told nothing was told strange about this, but i think otherwise. I emailed about my pay about a month ago, but no response.

I wish I looked this site up before I completed this package delievery service scam. They said my resume was viewed through a resume site. This company job offer cam to my e-mail, addressed to me. I am not working at this time and I thought the money could help me get some bills caught up. If this had came through my spam or if it was not addresse to me personaly I would have never did this.

I am a little worried because I didn’t know this was a scam at first. I was suppose to get paid yesterday and when I didn’t get paid, I looked online at this company a little more. Today I found this site saying the very thing I did was a scam. Not only do they now have my info, the feds can come to my house and knock it down because my address is on the package being sent out of the country omg. For now own I will work to earn a paycheck like everybody else.

I want people to learn from this most of the internet international companies offering you a job, money at all is 90% scam. Just walk away from anything that sounds to good to be true. It problely is not true. I am going to the police staiton today. I don’t want thim knowing on my door. I didn’t steal anything.
